As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artworkhere, being shared by the page, “People Against War,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“If there is even one homeless child in America, we have no room for illegal aliensa $700B military budget“

My Commentary: Repeat after me: hating taxes is all about “hating the poor.” Meanwhile, slavishly acquiescing to a State-run extortion racket that, above all else, finances the imperialistic and racist “war on terror,” and the tyrannical and racist “war on drugs” is “progressive,” and “humanitarian.” Skillz!

Anti-war voices are praising a new “must-read” New York Timesop-ed in which Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called on Congress “to redefine our relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to show that the Saudis do not have a blank check to continue violating human rights” by revoking U.S. support for the Saudi and UAE-led war in Yemen.

About 1,500 women and allied men marched on the Pentagon on Sunday to demand an end to perpetual war and the funding of education, health care and other social needs instead.

Stopping U.S. military involvement in Syria and Yemen and closing U.S. military bases around the world were among the demands voiced by the protestors who set out from Pentagon City and marched to the seat of American military power along a one-mile route.

When combining the officially-acknowledged, yet incomplete, government-reported numbers of casualties from drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan, the most modest possible totals show that between 616 – 1,258 civilians were killed, which includes between 186 – 241 children.

During Obama’s presidency, between 449 – 926 of the above-mentioned civilians casualties occurred (about 72.9% – 73.6% of the totals), which includes between 80 – 112 children (about 43 % – 46.5% of the totals). This is just more bipartisan criminality taking place in the ludicrous, endless “War on Terror.”

Oh, and this doesn’t even include US drone operations occurring in Iraq, Libya and Syria…
